What about a haybale?
That was of course also unfortunate, but crashes happen, even if stuff like that of course shouldn't happen. Imagine not crashing, and still getting so injured you have to pull out.

Does anyone know where Grossschartner is going. On the one hand it's ok because he won't have that many chances with Hindley, Vlasov, Higuita, Buchmann and probably Schachmann and Kämna going for GC in WT stage races. But he was the kind of level of rider that I thought could be a domestique in this emerging Bora team as riders a rider like Kelderman is moving away. I alway<s had the expression that Grossschartner wasn't really a good domestique because of the double focus of timing his chances with domestique work. Will be interresting what he could do in a captain role but I'm not sure he could get that in WT.
He is a stage hunter that occasionally could get a decent GC-result in a stage race.
Sort of a rider that could be useful for Movistar, Israel, Astana and so on to bring in some points with a good schedule for that purpose.

Movistar would make a lot of sense as he is better than most of their current riders with a comparable skillset and they need to make several signings to replace Valverde.

I was thinking that the relegation battle could affect transfer decisions with some riders and agents waiting to the end of the season to see if the team is at WC or Pro level.

"... and so on..."
Yes, they are among those teams that could definitely be in need of more riders like him. They have very few riders that could climb, even just a little bit. I guess because they have a smaller budget and have been very sprint-oriented. Heavy focused on the Belgium races and the classics.
If they wanna stay at WT-level in the long-run they could probably think about having a few riders that could climb that could pick up some "easy" points here and there. Just to complement to the points that the likes of Ewan and De Lie are gonna bring in. They more than likely gonna go through a run of poor form at some point and then they wont have much to show for it unless they have a few other riders chipping in with some points. They run the risk at selling themselves short.

Hasn't CF announced that it's folding (or whatever you'd call it)?

I was thinking Movistar as well. Having Mühlberger there may also help (although it hasn't been much of a success story for Movistar yet, tbh)

Grossschartner would be a match made in heaven with Wanty. Reliable Top-10 GC finisher in one week races (Paris-Nice, Romandie) and Vuelta as well that needs little support. They don't have a rider like him, since Meintjes is more three-week oriented and I guess Pozzo is retiring.

Strange that they haven't got extensions listed yet. Could've started on that quite a while ago.
And, it's started.

Big race for him. They have probably looked at his numbers and he has already raced the Giro di Sicilia against the pros.

Because he somewhat fast, which is the most important thing in cycling where UCI points matter.
